Masturbation is used for sexual pleasure. Adults usually turn to this practice due to lack of partners, or sexual desires that go unfulfilled. Today it has become much more accepted among young people while in years past it would have been taboo – leaving people without knowledge on how best to enjoy themselves.
Women were often fearful that masturbating would strip them of their virginity, rendering them unclean, and decreasing the odds of finding a life partner. With time and more knowledge, religious restrictions were gradually relaxed allowing more frequent masturbation practices; hence the advantages and disadvantages depended upon frequency of usage.
